Mozilla Store has relaunched again

Postby J-M » Wed 10 Aug, 2005 5:40 pm

Mozilla Store Relaunches in Partnership with GatewayCDI, tells MozillaZine:

http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=7127

This new store is owned and operated by the Mozilla Foundation with fulfillment services contracted out to GatewayCDI...
--cut--
The MozSource Mozilla Store closed in May after the Mozilla Foundation elected not to renew their contract.


So, Mozilla Store was closed almost three months.

GatewayCDI also run the Google Store.

I'm glad to see the Mozilla Store relaunch. There's new merchandise too, including a backpack and several Firefox-related books published by third-parties.

I hope that the "new" store is a lot faster in getting merchandise shipped out than the old one. :)

In any case, I look forward to ordering Firefox 1.1 on CD-ROM in the coming months.

You mean Firefox 1.5. :)

New Mozilla Firefox roadmap planned - 1.1 to be skipped

Oops! I did of course mean 1.5. :) Temporary slip of thought...

On other topics, does anyone think it's odd that the current CD-ROMs ship as a set of two; one for Firefox and one for Thunderbird? Surely Firefox and Thunderbird could both fit on a single CD with room left over?

It's good to see the Mozilla Store is back, and under new management. It's also good to see some new items show up in the store, such as the ones mentioned previously in this thread, but I did notice the absence of a few items that were in the old store that are not available now, noteably the Mozilla 1.7 software and guidebooks.

http://www.mozilla.org/news.html has a new announcement from 10 August 2005.

Might new coffee mugs be forthcoming?

From: http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=7127

The new store is operated by the Mozilla Foundation itself rather than the commercial Mozilla Corporation subsidiary because the Foundation sees it as a key mechanism for distributing and promoting Mozilla technology, rather than just a revenue-generating operation.


I see this the other way round...

Mozilla Foundation is making revenue from selling logowear?

Although I am not an accountant, but I have some background in Accounting and Economics...

Ridiculous pricing at Mozilla Store

According to Mozilla Store's shipping info page, and this RTF document on shipping detail in particular. One T-shirt would cost customer US$109.81 for total cost to Australia.

1 Tee Shirt valued at $14.95 USD, shipping to Australia:
Order Value $ 14.95
Freight Charge $ 66.82
Duties and Taxes $ 17.99
Total Delivered Order Cost $109.81


I really wonder any rich Firefox supporters in Australia is willing to pay US$109.81 (+ 1.5% to 3% exchange surcharge on credit card) to buy one T-shirt that only worth US$14.95.

(Based on the linked RTF document retrieved at time of posting.)

Also, goods under AU$400 value is free of custom duties.

Keep in mind that an international version of the store is coming later this year.

A beta version of an international store (for people outside of North and South America) is now online:

Thanks for the news.

The shipping cost is far more reasonable now, it indicates US$11.39 for international shipping to Australia, as opposing to US$109.81 for a US$14.95 T-shirt. However, I noticed the T-shirt price has gone up.

So would I pay US$16.47 + US$11.39 (shipping) = US$27.86 for a Firefox T-shirt? Well, it's not an Abercrombie and Fitch T-shirt.

(additional note: Carlson Twins were the models for Abercrombie and Fitch.)

The following content was originally posted here.

A few things to note (and this is why the International Store is beta):

(1) The store at this time will not have feature parity with the domestic store. There are a few items that you will not see that will rollout at a later date. These include the Firefox fleece and the Firefox flashlight.

(2) Some items look a little different than those in the domestic store because we have to source from different places. A good example of this is the Firefox backback.

(3) We are working on the Firefox 1.5 CDs for the international store. These are more complex to produce since we are including localizations on the CD as well as the en-US version.

(4) Countries in th EU should see the VAT included in the price of the item.

Good news: I ordered a Mozilla Firefox CD-ROM from the store earlier this month, and it arrived in the mail a week later. Compare that with the time I ordered a CD from the old store a year and a half ago, when it took well over a month!

Bad news: The CD-ROM contains the en-US versions of Firefox for Windows, Linux, and the Macintosh. That's all. This could almost fit on a Floptical disk!
